Practical courses provide resources and downloadable music to try in any early years setting, a full study sheet complete with suggested literature. The online option is ideal for flexible and affordable distance learning, affording time to try out new skills and the downloadable activities. A must for any national or overseas nursery group, these courses share footage examples of the significance that music can have in young children’s earliest development as well as engaging in music for music’s sake.
